Baker expands Luxe Collection with a nod to Hollywood glamour

HIGH POINT – Inspired by Southern California’s golden age of cinema, Baker is debuting an expansion of its popular Luxe collection during this week’s market.

Featuring 26 new designs, the additions to the collection includes tables, credenzas, nightstands, dressers, dining tables, beds and seating, presented in an “array of statement-making pieces” that offer a fresh take on classic luxury, according to company officials.

Materials featured in the new pieces blend design influences from the Art Deco and Hollywood Regency eras and include eglomisé, champagne silver leaf and mahogany. Officials said that the fusion of modernity and nostalgic charm offers a collection for a “discerning clientele” that includes a comprehensive assortment of home furnishings.

Pieces in the collection include:

• Fairfax Drink Table – Named for the lively and legendary neighborhood that borders Hollywood, it is a cocktail perch with a classic torch shape, sleek metal legs and a mahogany veneered top and base.
• Westwood Cocktail Table has a perfectly scaled mahogany mosaic parquet veneer pattern on the top. Its signature feature is the base crafted in gilded champagne silver leaf.
• Melrose Place Chair this collection’s iconic finish: a gilded champagne silver leaf on the chair’s exposed mahogany frame. Together, its materiality, sinuous seat and implied rolled back create a piece that embodies the sophistication and refinement of classic Hollywood, officials said.
• Doheny Bench – Described as “the most expressive piece in the collection,” it exemplifies the Hollywood Regency style with an upholstered rolled seat rest on a mahogany base.
• Paramount Credenza is punctuated by striking eglomise doors, signature hardware and rich mahogany throughout.
• Polo Lounge Chair with wood back cis defined by the outback crafted in a mahogany sunburst veneer pattern.
• Beverly Bed – Supple, tight upholstery complements a mahogany frame nodding to classic design.

The Baker Luxe collection will be available on showroom floors by the fall.
